Did you buy Stardew Valley for the Switch?

Yes

No

Not yet, but plan to.

This has been a pretty hyped release for months and months, and sneakily they revealed a release date this week and finally released today. Seems like a perfect match for the Switch if you like the Harvest Moon type games. I remember playing some game on the Wii...I think it was Rune Factory. I’m not huge into these life sim games, but I know they are quite popular with some, and obviously a game like this on a portable is a good fit. So, did you buy?

Someone on these boards told me it's like a laid back Rune Factory, so I bought it. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but I'm hyped for it.
This and Oxenfree will make for a great weekend with the Switch for me

What's Oxenfree?

I bought Golf Story yesterday. And Stardew Valley today. I know what i'm doing on my day off tomorrow~

Not yet, I'm finishing up Steamworld Dig 2 and then will jump into Golf Story. I've debated on getting it for the Switch since I have it on Steam and haven't played it. I really do not need to double dip and the entire reason I built a PC computer is because of cheaper games. No sense in spending more.

Having a great time with this game. I have it on PC too, but something about a Harvest Moon game (I know it isn't really) didn't seem right on a PC. Like having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a hamburger bun. Gotta be on a console.

The portability was the other reason. Didn't see why I'd want this on PS4, when it would look the exact same on Switch and be portable.

Yes, i was sold on it. The game is way fun. I was expecting it to be boring i guess but i quickly found 2.5 hours had passed because each little thing i wanted to do took up more and more time.... was almost like playing a shooter with that "one more round" but it was frequently well, i'll just wake up and check the crops see if this one came yet and that leads to me doing even MORE farm work.

I've cleared lots of space out (though "lots" is relative as i haven't seen just how masssssive the space really is). Also the game has more than just farming, though farming is defs what it's about. I love that though, it's so chill i can pick it up and throw on netflix plant some crops and just chill. No worries of monsters or anything, just what do i want to plant / remove.

i've even laid a cobblestone path out of my place and to my box/door... lol it's so dorky but fun as fuck.

Those that like Harvest Moon or missed that era get it, those that don't like it might not find much for them though it does have more adventure stuff than i remember Harvest Moon having. This isn't just 'stay in town' there are quests to find things, things to fight in caves while mining, but in the end you are trying to make that farm larger to produce more so you make more.

Really, Stardew Valley or Golf Story or Axiom Verge.....There can only be 1....for now, but which!!!

I'm leaning Golf Story, or Mighty Gunvolt Burst, after doing plague knight's campaign I think this would be really fun....Stardew Valley seems like something I'd rather have on Facebook or something where everyone can see my farm and visit. I don't know, I never played a Harvest Moon game, I just assumed it was just farming stuff. But it says 1 player.....and I like golf games more than farm games.

Golf Story is excellent, I’ve had a great time with the game. The writing in it is so good, if you have even a passing knowledge of golf you will appreciate it even more.

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is my next indie, it looks like the Mega Man #9 aspired to be.

Yeah I never like to have too many games at once, especially new games. Pick one, play it, then pick up the other later.

Well I couldn't decide yesterday and ended up buying them both. I started playing Golf Story and really enjoying it so far so I'm going to hold off on starting Stardew Valley until I finish or get bored with Golf.

Hey all, first post here. I'm definitely picking this up. I have the game on Steam, but never really played it. This game is the perfect game for on-the-go gaming (which fits my current lifestyle better) and I can't wait to sink more time into it.

I tried getting into the game but didn't really like it. I'll give it another shot. Any tips for a beginner in his first few hours?

Really is the most laid-back kinda game. I work on my field first. Clear it of sticks, rocks, and trees and whatnot. Then I work at plowing so I can grow all the crops I need. I spend all my money on seeds. Then toss stuff, like fiber, and dandelions in my cart to make money each day.

After a few days in the game, you can go North and enter the mines. There you can mine for minerals and fight monsters. You'll be given a sword when you enter.
